IMPORTANT READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USE KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
PREPARATION

• Read the instructions carefully and make sure you understand them fully. Be familiar with the controls and the proper use of the machine.
• Never allow children, persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge or people unfamiliar with these instructions use the machine.
• Local regulations may restrict the age of the operator. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• The operator or user is responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to other people or their property.
• Ensure the correct installation of the perimeter boundary system as instructed.
• Periodically inspect the area where the machine is to be used and remove all stones, sticks, wires, and other debris which could cause damage to the machine or be unsafe.
• Periodically visually inspect to see that the blades, blade bolts and cutter assembly are not worn or damaged. Replace worn or damaged blades and bolts in sets to preserve balance.
• On multi-spindle machines, take care as rotating one blade can cause other blades to rotate.
• Never leave the machine to operate unattended, especially while other people such as children and pets are in the area.
• Never use the machine to level out uneven patches.
• If the blades no longer cut correctly or if the motor is overloaded, check all the parts of your equipment and replace the worn parts. If a more extensive repair is required, contact the customer service centre.

USE

• Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts.

• Never pick up or carry the machine while the motor is running.

• Remove the plug from the mains or remove the disabling device:
  – before clearing any blockages.
  – before checking, cleaning or maintaining the machine.
  – after striking a foreign object to inspect the machine for damage.
  – if the machine starts to vibrate abnormally, and to check for damage before restarting.

• Start Robotic Mower according to the instructions. When the main power switch is in the ON position, make sure you keep your hands and feet away from the rotating blades.

• Never lift the Robotic Mower or carry it around with the mains switch is in the ON position.

• Do not let persons use the mower who do not know how it works or behaves.

• Do not put anything on top of the Robotic Mower or its docking station.

• Do not use the Robotic Mower with defective blade discs, body, defective blades, screws, nuts etc.

• Avoid operating the machine in wet grass. Doing so can cause additional wear and tear, and will increase the amount of cleaning required.

WORK INTERRUPTIONS

• After the machine has been turned off, the cutting cylinder will continue to rotate for a few seconds. Keep hands and feet well away.
• Switch off the device. Only remove blockages when the machine is standing completely still.
• Switch off the power when the machine is transported, lifted or tilted.
• Never leave the machine unattended. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

CAUTION!
The following below outlines measures to avoid damage and harm to both the Robotic Mower and people using it.
TAKING CARE OF YOUR MACHINE

• Switch off the power when the machine is to be carried across uneven surfaces, for example steps.
• Inspect the machine before each use. Never operate the machine if safety devices (e.g. impact protector, parts of the cutting facility or bolts) are missing, worn out or damaged. Check the power cable for damage. To avoid imbalance, all tools and bolts must be changed as complete sets.
• Only use spare parts and accessories that have been supplied or recommended by the manufacturer. The use of alien parts results in the immediate loss of all guarantee claims.
• Ensure that all nuts, bolts and screws are firmly tightened and that the machine is in a safe working condition.
• Never try to repair the machine yourself, unless you have been trained accordingly. All work that has not been listed in these instructions must only be carried out by authorised servicing agencies.
• Treat the machine with the greatest care. Always keep the tool clean. Follow the maintenance instructions.
• Never overload the machine. Always work within the specified capacity range. Do not use low-power machines for heavy-duty work. Do not operate the machine for purposes for which it is not intended.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY
CAUTION!
The following states how to avoid accidents and injuries due to electric shock:

• Before each use, carry out a visual inspection of the power and length and type of extension cords to be used (not lighter than required by Clause 25.7) for any signs of damage or ageing. Damaged mains power cables increase the risk of electric shock.
• Connect the machine to a power socket with a residualcurrent circuit breaker that has a rated current of no more than 30 mA.
• Always keep the extension cable well away from the cutting tools. Should the power cable become damaged during work, instantly disconnect the power cable from the mains. DO NOT TOUCH THE POWER CABLE BEFORE IT HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED FROM THE MAINS! Risk of electric shock.
• The supply cord cannot be replaced. If the cord is damaged the appliance should be scrapped.
• Keep extension cable away from blades and other moving parts. They may damage the cable and result in contact with live parts.
• Check that the mains voltage is the same as indicated on the rating plate.

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

• Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the machine is in a safe working condition.
• Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.
• Ensure that only the recommended replacement cutting blades are fitted.
• Ensure that batteries are charged using the charger supplied or recommended by the manufacturer. Incorrect use may result in electric shock, overheating or leakage of corrosive liquid from the battery.
• Servicing of the machine should be carried out according to manufacturer’s instructions.
• In the event of leakage of electrolyte, flush with water/ neutralising agent, seek medical help if it comes into contact with the eyes.
• Store the appliance with battery pack fully charged at room temperature (around 20 °C).
• Every deep discharge cycle decreases the capacity of battery pack. To prolong battery life, it is recommended to charge the battery every 6 months over extended periods of time without use.

TRANSPORT
The original packaging should be used when transporting the Robotic Mower over long distances.
To safely move from or within the working areas:

• Press the STOP button to stop the mower.
• Move the main switch button to the OFF position if you intended to carry the mower.
• Carry the Robotic Mower using the handle below at the rear. Carry the mower with the blade disc away from the body.

PRODUCT SAFETY WARNINGS

Not to touch moving hazardous parts before these have come to a complete stop.
Do not store anything heavy on the top of the Robotic Mower or docking station both during storage or when in use.
Never use the device if the main power switch is damaged or does not work properly. Never modify the main power switch. Set the main power switch to OFF for storage or when the device is not in use. Use the original packaging when transporting the Robotic Mower, especially for long distances.
If you need to carry the Robotic Mower from or within the working area, first press the STOP button to stop the device.
Secondly, ensure that the main power switch is switched OFF before you lift up your Robotic Mower.
Thirdly, carry the Robotic Mower by the carrying handle at the rear under the mower, keeping the blade disc away from your body as shown. LIGHTNING PROTECTION
In order to prevent lightning damage to the machine, do not place the docking station under tall trees.
